“Iconic novelist Patricia Highsmith was far more concerned with the final part of that particular answer.”
“That’s not to say that Patricia doesn’t know Edward, or expect him, or see through him.”

“Watching Ehrenreich slip into Tom Ripley’s skin is a hoot, but it’s more edifying watching him face off against Mirren.”
“Mirren’s Patricia intermittently narrates the story, suggesting she’s creating Edward as much as she is receiving him.”
“Grade: B “ A Talent for Murder ” premiered at the 2026 Toronto International Film Festival.”
“The creator of Tom Ripley wasn’t very interested in untangling who — we always knew who!”
“And as they do, we get to watch that same story play out on screen, with Ehrenreich ably slipping into the Ripley role, Cooke recast as his mark.”
“While Murray-Smith’s script keeps a steady head on the multiplying storylines — Edward and Patricia at work, Edward and Clementine at play, Tom and “Clementine” delighting across Rome — the film does lose some steam when it veers too far off the two-hander nature that powered its first half.”
“But Edward’s nerdy charm isn’t without some admirers, like alluring young Clementine (Olivia Cooke), who he meets on the train to Switzerland.”
“That the classic mystery subgenre would continue to stake its claim in the cinematic world is no surprise.”

“It also offers Ehrenreich to really show off his stuff, running away with the film by way of his many ever-shifting characters.”
“Still, it’s hard to imagine who could possibly impress Patricia, as she rattles around her bunker (impeccably designed by Dimitri Capuani), smokes a lot, and grimaces frequently at her typewriter.”

“Edward Ridgeway ( Alden Ehrenreich ) is, in fact, the young second editor dispatched to Switzerland to try to extract a final Ripley novel from Highsmith (the film was shot on location, and it shows).”
